Vendor Risk Management

Your vendors are your business. Know what they bring.

Every vendor relationship is a trade-off: capability for risk, speed for control. The best deals happen when you understand exactly what risk a vendor introduces—and can negotiate accordingly. Give procurement the leverage to drive better terms, relationship managers the clarity to make confident decisions, and sales the speed to answer questionnaires in hours instead of days.

Procurement Leverage

Risk clarity is negotiation power

When procurement knows exactly what risk a vendor introduces—gaps in their security certifications, weak incident response, missing encryption—that's leverage. High-risk vendors unwilling to remediate? Negotiate better pricing to offset the risk you're accepting. Or find a vendor who takes security as seriously as you do. Either way, you're making informed decisions, not guesses.

Security questionnaires in hours, not days

Nothing kills deal momentum like waiting a week for security to answer a questionnaire. AI reads your policies and generates accurate responses with evidence citations—turning what used to be a multi-day scramble into a same-day turnaround. Sales stays in motion. Deals close faster. Security stops being the department that slows everything down.

  • AI generates answers from your actual policies
  • Auto-attach SOC 2 reports, certs, and evidence
  • Internal review workflow before sending
  • Response library builds with every questionnaire

Framework Coverage

One language for compliance — in and out

The frameworks you use to prove your own compliance are the same ones you use to assess vendors. 250+ frameworks supported — same library on both sides, no context switching, no roadmap wait if a vendor asks about a niche one.

One answer. Every framework that needs it.

Ask a vendor once. Map their answer everywhere.

Most vendor questionnaires ask the same things in different language. Your SOC 2 questionnaire asks about MFA. Your ISO 27001 questionnaire asks about MFA. Your HIPAA questionnaire asks about MFA. We’ve cross-mapped 250+ frameworks down to 1,468 universal controls— so when a vendor answers a control once (with evidence attached), every framework that needs it counts it satisfied. Faster questionnaires for them. Faster reviews for you. Less vendor fatigue all around.

  • One vendor answer maps to every framework that shares the control
  • Evidence attached to a control flows through automatically
  • Need a niche framework? It’s already mapped — just ask
  • Vendors stop re-answering the same question for every assessor

Relationship Clarity

Know exactly what each vendor brings into your business

Relationship managers can finally answer the question that keeps executives up at night: "What risk are we actually taking on with this vendor?" Every vendor gets a quantified risk score. Track whether their risk is trending up or down. See concentration across your portfolio. Make vendor decisions with data, not gut feelings—and choose different vendors when the risk isn't worth it. And when a vendor you depend on is breached, you don't start from a blank page: the platform ranks the three most impactful actions to take—the patch first when there's a fix—tailored to the business functions that vendor actually touches.

  • Annual reassessment scheduling
  • Compliance drift detection across vendors
  • Complete audit trail for every vendor interaction
